We used to fish for cod of the Maine coast in the 70's. We'd rent a charter and maybe catch 20-40 (that's for 15 people) At some point HUGE commercial frozen fish companies in Boston and other ports completely destroyed the cod population. In the end we never caught any cod and the charter companies went belly up. I never see deep sea charters up here on the coast of Maine so I assume the cod didn't survive here.

I-m quite disappointed in his answer about the Bermuda Triangle. There is nothing going on there really. It-s one of the heaviest trafficked areas of the Atlantic, and doesn-t really have a problem with planes and ships disappearing. It-s possible there are some anomalous magnetic field that could disrupt navigation equipment, but it-s certainly not anything as crazy going on as some people seem to believe.

The Great Barrier Reef myth is incorrect. Our government is threatening to dredge the reef to make space for more coal mines, which we don't want, and they refuse to acknowledge global warming or intervene to protect it. It's dying and the people trying to save it don't have enough money, time, people or resources to make a significant impact. Very ill advised, Wired.

The Bermuda Triangle is a statistical phenomenon I'm guessing. Bermuda is basically the only major island after a long voyage across the Atlantic to the US. Back in the day a lot of ships would have gone this route and converged at Bermuda. It's simply because more ships equals more chance of sinking ships.

? I live in FL and I was taught to always swim WITH the rip current because it will curve back around to the shore. I've never heard swim across it or that it continues straight out into the ocean. So confused, because your video is so good and you're obviously an expert. Any feedback is appreciated! -

Toothpaste contains a lot of micro plastic partials, it's yours as an abrasive to clean you teeth, you can use activated charcoal which has no plastic. Also tooth paste contains foaming agents to fool people into thinking it's doing a better job than its actually doing.

I wish people who consider themselves -environmentalists- would do more research, even something as cursory as this video. Nothing is as dangerous to our environment as someone with no scientific background who calls themself an environmentalist.

I went to the great barrier Reef in 2006 when I was 10 and even back then the reef was very very bleached where we were. Then we went to the Yasawa islands in Fiji and I've never seen anything more beautiful. Those reefs were insane.

debunked. I know bc I was cut as a teenager (tiny cut, but did let blood) in the atlantic ocean, and while at the time I was scared of the big marine animals (sharks etc) no shark came and sniffed me out Jaws style.
